A guide for dating in Seattle
Seattlites
are some of the finest individuals you'll ever meet. That's correct, we're
talking about the Seattle Freeze and Seattle dating. The city's residents
aren't particularly inspired to leave their homes, much alone meet new people,
because the sun only shines for about a third of the year. Seattleites are
quiet and passive, and when you throw in the presence of Microsoft and Amazon,
you have a city full of people who aren't used to mingling. What should I do? Here's
a dating guide for singles in Seattle.
Statistics
Here
are the dating digits to know if you live in a city where numbers are not just
fascinating but also possibly romantic. Despite the fact that the atmosphere,
culture, and industry are all arguably hostile to singles, Seattle has been
voted the third greatest city for singles out of the nation's 150 largest
cities. Not only is Seattle's population 58.42 percent single (compared to the
national average of 49.42 percent), but it is also the country's sixth fastest-growing
metropolitan metropolis, with the fifth-highest LGBT percentage in 2015. So, if
you haven't yet found someone you're looking for, your possibilities are
plentiful and expanding.
Technology
Seattleites
are known for their technological prowess, so it's only natural that they
employ it in their dating. The most popular dating apps in Seattle are Tinder,
Bumble, and OkCupid, which are all well-known. What about the more unusual
ones? Coffee Meets Bagel (#LandOfCoffee), MapleMatch (apparently Seattle loves
Canadians), and The League (new this year). Otherwise, Meetup is a fantastic
resource for singles. Age groups, neighborhoods, and interests are all used to
categorize events.
Bars
Shorty's
and Lava Lounge, both in Belltown, are well-known among the singles community.
Aside from that, each area has its own distinct nightlife scene. There are
clubs for those who want to dance their way into someone's heart, and on
Capitol Hill, LGBTQ people will meet the most like-minded people. Pony and The
Wildrose Bar, respectively, are gay and lesbian bars.
Words of Advice
While
dating in Seattle, keep the following in mind.
Because
so many people are interested in some form of technology, you can expect it to
come up in discussion. To find love, you don't need to know how to code, but
being a good listener and putting forth the effort, even when things get
technical, won't hurt.
In
Seattle, the mix of coffee and rain makes coffee shops almost as good as bars
for picking up individuals.
The
growth of hipsters and nerd-chic has also boosted the popularity of books.
Browse the shelves of a bookstore and keep an eye out for your future boyfriend
or babe!

luck in your search for Tom Hanks or Meg Ryan!
